It could still be its own thing unconnected to anything else.
Think of it as an 'alternate reality' (or 'unrealized reality) that never occurred... although it still could through a number of different ways (if the writers decide to go into that direction - but I suspect they won't and that Calypso may tie into Season 3 or Seaon 4 in a similar - but different capacity.
But that's the problem. Nothing can be separated anymore with Star Trek. Everything has to have a reason and be connected to everything else. I would much rather have the little self-contained things, the little mysteries, the things that each viewer's imagination can fill in the blanks with.
But for some reason, everything now needs to be explained or have a reason behind something else.
Calypso has no reason to be. It is the best example of a "bottle show" within the current format. There is no reason to try to peg it in to current stories beyond brief references. It just is.
I agree with you. However, there has been an increasing need to tie everything together with everything else with Star Trek, so at some point someone is going to manufacture a link to it, probably a lame one, just for the sake of explaining every single thing that happens in Star Trek.
Indeed, yes, and it is unfortunate.
By definition, it's both.
They were never intended to be the same character.
Indeed, it's obvious they're not. Craft is a soldier in a war; Book is a civilian courier.
When did they mentioned it?!
The ship's name is Enterprise. It has no letter designation after it. The registry number has the letter.What's the diff?
I think it was just a way for the writers to have a quick way to note the ships when referring to earlier or later incarnations.
Because loud segments of the fan base whine like babies if they don’t.
Wrong, actually.
We've heard other Enterprises referred to by name and letter (such as the C and D in "Yesterday's Enterprise"). This is just one more example of that.
It's just that normally this doesn't come into play because we rarely see two ships with the same name together. But when we do, the name includes the letter.
Not wrong. Look at the name on the ship's hull. Does the name "U.S.S. Enterprise" contain a letter after it?
In conversation it will, on the registry it won't.
^ Ah, but you just said the ship's name "has no letter designation after it". If it ever comes up in conversation, which you also admitted it does, then it DOES.
Maybe not on the damn hull, but if it comes up anywhere at all, the end result is the same.

No, I agree with you, but I was only pointing out that the hull doesn't have it. The damn hull.
With all that programmable matter they have now, I don't think it's a stretch to assume that Zora might have retrofitted herself. Maybe she just liked her old look?
I would have loved a running gag through this season that every time Starfleet upgraded something, Zora changed it back.
Not unlike a certain TARDIS that does pretty much whatever she wants.
It’s been mentioned. I’m sorry if I spoiled that for you.
